Inflation in other countries(trading partners)=>Higher input price for goods =>reduce competitive pressure on import-competing domestic goods price of domestic goods may increases. Alternative Way of looking at it: Country A trades with Country B. Currency B appreciates in relation to Currency A. Therefore, from Country A's point of view, it is more expensive to buy raw materials from Country B, but A will still buy raw materials because it is essential for production. As a result, the cost of production for goods increases due to a rise in price of raw materials. Hence, this will cause an increase in the general price level of goods and services in Country A that uses raw materials imported from Country B. Therefore, imported inflation occurs.
